The Presidents Sympathy.

The Hon. J. B. Weaver, of Texas, hav-
ing addressed letter to President Cleve-
land upon the matter Of the evictions OF
settlers from their lands in O'BIien coun-
ty. is in receipt OF reply from the Presi-
dent, in which he says: "Your letter OF
the 25th instant regarding the eviction by
proceedings in the State courts of certain
parties from lands in O'Brien county, has
excited my interest and sympathy. Such
results are sure to bring distress Of en-
times upon those entirely innocent who
have settled on lands in entire good faith

on consultation with the Secretary of the
Interior and Attorney General that the
cases to which..you refer were some time

interfere in these controversies because in
any event its title to the land was gone,

must fight out their respective rights in

MARYLAND as a Home.

The following excellent. and truthful ar.
Herald of Saturday on ths subject of
Maryland as a Home" and we think il
should find a place in every Maryland
journal. Mary and has no bureau Of emf
grafton and the claims OF our garden spo,
are never shown 10 those who are seeking
good comfortable and happy homes. Give
to the world the advantages OF our State
by all meanes.
The reports OF falls Of snow. destructive
hurricanes and freshets in various parts of
the country give emphasis to the claims
OF Marylanders that this safe is cimati-
cally and meteoro'ogically one OF the most
favored in the Union. There is not an
other state between the parallels Of la,i-
.ude which have 50 even a climate, and i,
is as free from the burning heats of the
South aud Southwest as from the marrow
piercing billiards Of the Northwestern
States and the chilly fogs OF New York
and New England.
/ Why should aot the advantages of
Maryland as Home be properly set forth
by bureau of immigration Thousands
of desirable farmers and agricultural la
+ borers land on these shores and are ship
| ped off like cattle TO the west. there TO
endure severe climatic extremes and in
Vulnerable hardships. with the certainty
that years of toll will be required 70 over
come natural obstacles alone before they
can acquire a little homestead that feels
Like home.
In Maryland, on the other hand, the
spring begins early enough to enable agri
cultural operations to be commenced in
April; the summer heat is relieved by
breezes from the bay on the esat and the
mountains on the west; the autumn is
long and extremely agreeable; the short
winter can be passed in exchange of hos
pitalities with population whose repu-
tation for hospitality is proverbial.
And it is not to a agricul'urists alone
that Maryland offers surprising advan
tage. All parts of the state are in easy
communication with the National Capt.
tai The markets of the large cities are
easily accessible by good roads and every
part of the western section of the state is
intersected by railroads The Eastern
Shore counties have matckless streams
and rivers easy steamboat communica-
tion with the Western Shore and complete
railroad communication with all points
North and South.
Let it be remembered that while other
states are flooded with announcements of
their advantages Mary yIand has done moth
ing. Her fine soil and splendid equable
climate have found no eu'ogiss and it
seems to be the opinion that they need
nole. With the climate of Italy and the
energy of the Anglo-Saxon race expended
within its limits of Maryland ought to be
one of the most populous and influential
states in the Union, and the bourne of
immigrants of the best class from all parts
of the world.

The Baltimore Sun did most valuable
work in the campaign in Baltimore in de-
tending that city from the aspersions of
those who songht to defle its fare fame To
the Sun, more than any where else belongs
the credit of correcting false public
opinion that had begun to take root in
the West and North in reference to Mary
land and Baltimore, growing out of the
misrepresentation and revilings of the
"reform" campaigners. The Sun threw
its powerful influence into the breech, as
it is doing also in the State compaign for
the democratic ticket. Cowen found in
the Sun snag he could neither scare,
browbeat, nor silence, and which when
struck hit back again with the mighty
sledge hammer of truth.

The election in Maryland on Tuesday
was for Governor, comptroller, attorney
general, half of the members OF the State
Senate, memb bers of the House of Dele
gates, and various State and county Of
ticers. A vote was also taken on the
question of calling convention to re-
wise the State constitution. The demo
cratic State ticket is elected by maiori-
ty variously estimated at from 10000 to
$4,000. The vote on the constitutional
convention is close. In 1888 McLane, the
democratic candidate for Governor, had
majority in the State and city over Hart
b. Holton, republican, of 1857 Cleve-
lands plurality over Blaiue was Ills,
and his majority over all 7,713.
THE RESULT IN BALTIMORE CITY.
in Baltimore city the democratic State
ticket received majority of about 5000.
Mr.. Kerr, the democratic candidate for
States Attorney, is elected over Mr..
Cans, and Mr.. George May, democrat for
sheriff, is elected.
IN OTHER STATES.
Outside of Maryland, elections were
held in Virginia, New York, New Jersey,
Massachusetts, Pennsylvania, Ohio, Oregon
Nebraska and Iowa. In Virginia, the re-
turns indicate that the democrats have
secured large majority in both branches
Of the Legislature. which will give that
party the United States Senator in the
Face of the Hon. Ell. III. Riddleberger. re-
publican, whose term expires March 8,
1889. In New York the democratic State
sicly was elected and the entire county
.icket of the united drmocracy in New
York city, including Col. Fellows, whose
plurality is about 22,000 The democratic
candidate for secretary of the State re-
,eived in New York and Kings cou.ty
majority of a.out 10000 over the republi-
IAN candidate. In Massachusetts, Oliver
Ames, republican, was elected Governor
oy about 10000 plurality. Ia Pennsyl
7ania the republican State ticket was elect

tuesdays General Elections.

! The result of the general elections held
in Merylan1, Virginia and New York on
Tuesday is a signal tiiumph for the Dem
ocratic Federal administration, as well as
Tor the conduct of the party in the man

these States may be fairy regarded as the

or one of them: ard to make the great
pivotal State of New York more hopeful
from Republican point of view. But the
result is signal failure and repulse all
| along the line.
The plain and decisive verdict of The
people of Balti.lnre city at the municipal
contest two weeks ago against the ira
ducers of our State and her great metro.
polis-given by majority of $4,000 OF
her intelligent voters-gave satisfactory
assurance TO any who may have doubted
before, that the unholy alliance which.
aided by outside Republican influences.
had conspired against TIE life of the Dem
ocratic party of Maryland. would fail o +
the bad purpose of its conspiracy. But
In the Virginia contest there were clouds
of doubt which have only been dispelled
by the magnificent triumph of last Tues
days election. Malone had confidently
claimed that he would carry the State,
and his known ability as a political org
nizer and manipulater encouraged his
republican allies elsewhere to hope that he
would be able to redeem his promise But
the result is safe Democratic majority
throughout the State which leaves the old
Commonwealth of Virginia safely aligned
IN the Democratic column tor the Presi
dental coatest and the South as solid"
as ever
In New York the result is most assuring
to Democratic prospects of success. The
Democrats have not only fully held their
ows, but have made decided gains in New
York city. The majority for the State
ticket exceeds that of Governor Hill two
years ago. The returns from The rural dis /
trlcts are not at this writing in. but from /
the best attsina1le information and care. /

in the State will not f.l much below
10000 votes.
Thus 1t appears that the FIRST great pre-

test has resulted so decidedly IN favor of
the Democrats as to give them every adj /
vantage in 1855; and it seems now sat, To
predict that Mr. Cleveland will succeed
himself for another term. 1t is nsni;es,

The Anarchists Case.

The decision of the United States Su-
preme Court upon the petition for writ
of error IN the case of the Chicago An
archits has been announced by Chief JUS
tice Waite in long and carefully prepar-
ed opinion, which occupied thirty five
minutes in the reading.
The court holds in brief: "First, that
the first ten amendments to the Constitu-
tion are limitations upon federal and not
upon State action second, that the jury
law of Illinois is upon its face valid and
constitutional, and that it is similar in its
provisions to the statute of Utah, which
was sustained in this court in the case OF
Hopt vs.. The Territory of Utah /; third,
that it does not appear in the evidence
the trial court should have declared the
Juror, Sanford, incompetent; fourth, that
the objection to the admission of the
Johann Most letter and the cross-exami.
nation of Spies, which counsel tor the
prisoners maintained virtually compelled
them to testify against themselves, were
not objected to in the trial court, and that
therefore, no foundation was laid for the
exercise of the courts jurisdiction and
fifth, that the questions raised by Gen
Butler in the case of Spies and Fielden up
on the. basis of their foreign nationality
were neither raised nor decidedin the State
courts, and therefore cannot be considered
here. The writ of error prayed for must
consequently be denied"
This settles this case of these condemned
criminals, and, unless executive clemency
intervenes, to which end a strong effort
is being made, they will hang to-day
November 11tb, for the crime committed
in Chicago last year.

OUR COUNTY IN LINE.
The State Ticket Ahead
The Commissioners Elected
Orphans Court Democratic |!
LOW TAXES TO Be CONTINUED !

The result of last Tuesdays election in
our county, as it appears from the official
figures of the published table, presents q
study for thoughtful minds and one that
should receive the gravest consideration
of all interested in Democratic supremacy
in our public affairs. That we shonld
have been able to elect our State ticket by
a majority of 7S, and at the same election
lose three of cur county officers, shows how
recreant many Democrats were in their
party duty. While we, of course, rejoice
that our county is practically still in the
control of the Democratic party, who by
past management, have shown their abil-
ity and willingness to govern he. wisely,
we nevertheless deeply deplore the defeat
of the three earnest and able gentlemen
who bore our standard so nebly in the
Ssmpaign just closed.
- nsfke OF 'ne battle
has entisj eqL n dlqs it might not be
just or becoming ia US TO express tic deep
indignation we, in common with oil true
party men, feel toward those recreant Dem
ocrats who have thought proper to vote
for and elect republican nominees over
men of their own party. We will there
fore defer our condemnation-andw we have
naught but condemnation for them-until
the heat of our just indignation has clear
ed away and when we may look..soberly
on any reasons they may advance for their
very reprehensible conduct. That Philip
A. Sasscer, for the Legislature, and VIM
J. Cox, for sheriff, should have been de-
feated by such slight majorlties, is a sad
commentary on mugwump Democracy and
one we hope they may take to heart and
emember in future contests and that W
M. Muschette should have been SO out
rageously slaughtered in the house of his
friends, and that too for man who had
most positively refused to accept the nom
ination of our party, is sad side to the
otherwise glad picture we might hold up
for the gaze of all who love honest and
economic management in public affairs
We shall give this matter some further
attention in future issues.
There is one potent feet demonstrated
by this election, and that is that with an
unbroken and united front on the part of
the Democracy Charles county can never
agaih be wrested from their control.
